This place is where locals go for good sushi, Japanese food, and plenty of fun. When people are celebrating birthdays, they have the waitstaff gather round, clap hands and sing in unison.

I like to start out at the connected bar, Izakaya. Then make our way to the tables, where the chef cooks the food in front of you. the usual spinning egg, and onion Trane.
